OVERVIEW:
Silox XT is an alkaline-based concentrated silicone cleaner. It is formulated for the removal of silicones in oils, emulsions and compounds.
MAIN FEATURES:
- Silox XT is 100% biodegradable and can be diluted with about 10% concentrate mixed with water before use.
- The chemical has little or no effect on water treatment systems and does not require treatment or removal by a specialist.
TECHNICAL ADVANTAGES:
- Has no flash point and has no unpleasant odor.
- Heating the diluted chemical between 40 and 90° C improves the cleaning result and speed.
- In certain circumstances, the chemical can be reused for further cleaning after filtering out the silicone residues from previous cleaning activities.
APPLICATION:
Silox XT application methods include immersion, circulation or the use of a CIP system. Stirring during immersion will aid the cleaning process. Spraying or brushing is recommended for floors, walls, vessels, reaction vessels and machines.
The chemical contact time is between 5 and 60 minutes, depending on the amount of silicone to be removed. After cleaning with Silox XT, it is important to rinse well with water and, if necessary, to disinfect.
